The FTSE 100 is expected to open higher due to a softening in oil prices following an Iraq-Turkey deal, as markets await central bank responses to inflationary pressures. This development may have a positive impact on stocks, particularly those sensitive to oil prices. The move could also reflect a broader shift in market sentiment towards risk-on assets.
